Name: _____________________________________ Date: ____________________ Period: _________ 4.2 Evolutionary Evidence Biology Summative REVIEW – Additional Practice Questions Multiple Choice Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. ____ 1. Which of the following is the explanation of why bird wings and reptile forelegs are evidence of evolution? a. Similar functions point to a common ancestor. b. Analogous structures indicate a common ancestor. c. Vestigial structures point to a common ancestor. d. Homologous structures indicate a common ancestor. ____ 2. The Australian flying phalanger is a marsupial flying squirrel. Its appearance, behavior, environment and diet closely resemble those of the American flying squirrel, a placental mammal. This resemblance is most likely due to a. adaptive radiation. c. coevolution. b. convergent evolution. d. gradualism. ____ 3. Which of these is evidence for the endosymbiont theory? a.

Modern sea star larvae resemble some primitive vertebrate larvae. This similarity may suggest that primitive vertebrates a. share a common ancestor with sea stars. b. evolved from sea stars. c. evolved before sea stars. d. belong to the same species as sea stars. ____ 6. Molecular evidence in support of natural selection includes a. the nearly universal genetic code. b. the presence of vestigial structures. c. a tendency toward perfect, unchanging DNA in various species. d. the transmission of acquired characteristics by DNA. ____ 7.
